Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Yeah I think the UCL prize money makes it up.

 

I agree about not wanting to spend much on players who offer zero value in the long run. Xhaka isn't a high transfer fee but obviously wages will be high. I think the odd signing like this is key tho, I'd hate to make loads like this as that def has a big impact longer term. Someone like xhaka surrounded by young promising players just seems a match made in heaven

 

Pays for himself 10 fold if helps us stay up.

 

Poveda might have been here, but did he play for us, not just wander about the physio room?

Sorry, being facetious about how useless a signing he was.

 

I do but I wouldn’t want him either

 

The sooner hes gone - the better

 

Leeds agree fee for Sean Langstaff in excess of £12m SSN

 

It’s a squad balance thing for me - although I’m certain Xhaka is a much bigger positive on the pitch. Henderson was experience and low demand for minutes wrapped up in a free transfer. Xhaka comes with a bigger financial commitment along with a desire to get 3000 prem minutes. That doesn’t leave as many for Neil, ELF, Rigg, Diarra and Sadiki. Mind I’d have preferred another 20 year old YouTube sensation wonderkid over either. And that comes with its own problems

 

Again?

Just kidding mate

 

The first bit looks a goer. What if the first bit needs the immediate impact bit to flourish?

 

Not getting ahead of mesel but….

we sign xhaka you sean longstaffffffff

 

no room for sentimentality, theres levels to the game and the goal of staying up is a massive challenge and a midfield of le fee, diarra, xhaka is not bottom 3.

 

Haha at least you know what you like.

In my mind it would provide the perfect balance to the midfield and give the lads you mentioned space and time to express themselves - although yeah maybe doesn't look good for Dan.

 

imnagine what were cooking up at RW

 

Leeds signings looking like good dependable players who’d do well in the Championship …

… I’ve doubt Farke will last the season though.

 

Do tell

 

Harvey Elliot

 

Don’t talk about Leeds too much otherwise that fella will be back

 

Some new flags

 

That’s the unknowable though. The whole experience thing is only true until it isn’t. At some point some team is gonna make a proper go at it with only young players. And at that point everyone will wonder why we all kept paying big wages to older pros. Maybe it’s best to let some other team prove that though
